  • Moon trying to communicate - is a character

  • Met by two characters that introduce you to the mystery

  • Moon has had enough of being taken for granted

  • Our task is to make a case for building a utopia on the moon, each audience will have to design it, and the ladder to get there

  • Audience have to present their utopia to the moon

  • Have to connect all 5 utopias to work - moon had a plan all along

  • Potential of an aerial performer - big diva

  • Mural

  • Music key throughout - a moon jam


As a group (with Robyn and Richard), come up with the four constitutions for your utopia:

e.g. All citizens can... All citizens will... All citizens have the right to explore the narrative.

Guiding principal of "help all, harm none".

  1. All citizens have the freedom to find their way to who they are

  2. All citizens have no limitations to morphing their physical being

  3. All citizens have the right to manifest in reality the output of their imagination

  4. All citizens have the right to consider and empathise with others
